Willy DeVille Louise-with lyrics

They all said louise was not half bad
It was written on the walls and window shades
And how she'd act the little girl
A deceiver don’t believe her, that's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
Flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought louise 10 cent trinkets
The intentions were easily traced
And everybody knew at times she cried
But women like louise well they get by
Everybody thought it kinda sad
When they found louise in her room
They'd all put her down below their kind
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
Louise rode home on the mail train
Somewhere to the south i heard them say
Too bad it ended so ugly
Too bad she had to go this way
But the wind is blowing cold tonight
Goodnight louise goodnight
Goodnight louise goodnight
Pistola is the last album made by Willy DeVille. It was released on Mardis Gras day in 2008 as a nod to DeVille's musical roots in New Orleans. The album was recorded in Los Angeles with Brian Ray, Lon Price, The Valentine Brothers, and other musicians who had played with DeVille for years. For this album, DeVille borrowed bassist Davey Faragher and drummer Pete Thomas from Elvis Costello's backup band, the Imposters (DeVille's band Mink DeVille toured with Elvis Costello in 1978). John Philip Shenale produced the album, his fourth production effort for Willy DeVille.
Said DeVille about his choice of titles for the album: "I wanted (the album) to sound like those old cowboy movies ... Pis-to-la: the sound has that feel of the western, and something hot too. An exciting sound, just like what I hope the music will be for people."
